1927-D VAM-3B
ErrorDescription
Discovered by Jeff Oxman, VAM-3B for the 1927-D Peace Dollar from the Denver Mint is cataloged on plate position 3B II 3 - B2a with importance I-3 and rarity R-6, placing it among the more significant and scarcer Peace Dollar varieties. The descriptive designation is Doubled Left Obverse with Two Die Gouges Below and Left of E, identifying both doubled obverse characteristics and specific die markers. Obverse die state II 3 documents a second slightly curved die gouge to the left of E through the top of a short ray extending to the rim. Jeff Oxman is a prominent VAM researcher whose extensive work on Peace Dollar varieties has expanded the catalog significantly. The 1927-D is a key date with a low mintage of approximately 1.27 million, making it one of the scarcer regular-issue dates where any documented variety commands attention. The I-3 importance rating reflects diagnostic significance, while R-6 indicates an estimated 5 to 12 specimens are known.
